Video games count right? Already discussed in the thread about how people here found the sling but there are a few video game examples (sorry for a bit of double-posting).

Age of Empires and Stronghold already mentioned there. I'm currently playing Enter the Gungeon (2016) and you can use a sling as a weapon in that game as well:

https://enterthegungeon.fandom.com/wiki/Sling

https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Slinger_(Age_of_Empires)

https://stronghold.fandom.com/wiki/Slinger

As accurate and favorable as you can get from pixelated video games I guess.

There is a book called "Earth's Children" about a human girl living with neanderthals. The sling is used throughout the book as their primary hunting weapon for small game.

100%! The most popular reason people try out slinging used to be because of David & Goliath or history in general. Today I think it's more likely to be games or social media. But Clan of the Cave Bear is definitely on the list too. That book is what started my slinging path.
